Overweight <\/strong>& Obesity <\/strong>are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. In Ayurveda Atisthula<\/em> (Obese person ) has been defined as \u201ca person with flabbiness of buttocks, belly & breast due to excessive accumulation of Meda(fat\/adipose tissue) & Mamsa(flesh\/muscle tissue) and whose increased bulk is not matched by a corresponding increase in his energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overweight or obesity can hamper ones physical & mental health in a profound way. Treating Obesity is not easy & also gets very tiring for its patients, so it\u2019s always better to prevent it by knowing its causes and avoiding them. For the ones who are already suffering from it, eliminating these causes from their diet & lifestyle gets even more crucial as a part of the treatment. So, let\u2019s see the causes of obesity by Ayurveda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dietary causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over eating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating before digestion of previous meal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of heavy food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of sweet food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of cold food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of oily food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of meat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

new grains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excessive consumption of milk & its preparations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

drinking water postmeal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role of dietary causes in obesity –<\/strong>Weight gain & weight loss both depends on the quality & quantity of food. Edibles which are heavy, sweet, cold & oily in nature all leads to overproduction & deposition of Meda <\/em>(fats). Milk, alcohol, meat & newly harvested grains when taken excessively can lead to obesity by their ability to overproduce & accumulate fats & flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifestyle Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

lack of exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

daytime sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

excess sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

luxurious sitting for longer durations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

sleeping & bathing after meal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role of lifestyle causes in obesity- <\/strong>lack of exercise, excessive sleep & prolong sitting all of these falls under restricted physical activity. Metabolism is reduced in absence of exercise, excess of sleep & physical relaxation, which becomes the main reason of genesis & accumulation of excessive Meda. Also in physical & mental relaxation state, there is diminished want of energy, hence this unused energy may get converted & stored in the form of fats leading to obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically obesity may occur in anyone who often gets indulged in sedentary dietary habits & lifestyle. In the end it all depends upon mode & code of your diet & lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, \u201cBE ACTIVE & STAY HEALTHY\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
